This morning I started my day talking to God on the back patio of our house in Antigua. My best days seem to start there.
I woke up ready for the day. Some days I'm not so ready….not ready to submit to what the Lord has, not ready to listen, not ready to receive. I'm not sure what grace I woke up in, but I was able to receive from Him.
He showed me something simple. Yet it wasn't simple, because it's a big road block on my journey, and it's been part of the road block most of my life.
You weren't made to fill people up, I do that.
You weren't made to fill yourself up. Not even with good things. I am more than enough. I am the only thing that can bind your heart from wandering.
He showed me that I see him, and I believe him, but that he is distant.
He is distant because my heart is already full of pretty things. Pretty dreams, pretty desires, pretty opinions, pretty people.
He showed me what those things are. He showed me that he brought me here to Guatemala, and that my time is now. Literally, now.
A time to empty
A time to receive
You are mine alone,
your heart is mine alone,
empty it as often as you need to,
I will fill it with me alone
He reminded me of these lyrics
“Yours Alone”
My heart is yours love, yours alone love
and should you wander, there I'll be
for where you go love, I will follow
my heart is yours love and yours alone
My heart is yours love, yours alone love
and should the storms rise, there I'll be
I'll fight for you love to not go under
my heart is yours love and yours alone
Your the song that is my heart
and it echoes deep and true
but if time should take me far I'll sing til I find you
My heart is yours love, yours alone love
and in the darkness your my light
for in this world love, there's no other
my heart is yours love and your alone
I am yours love and your alone
